I'm not too sure but I thought it was only the later 03-06 facelift models that had vented disks and that the older cars had solid ones!
Just to clarify, (read my original post) the disc moves ok with pads in position but when put wheel on and tighten up boltsthe lower corner of the caliper rubs on inside of wheel and cant move it.....
New pads dont appear to be handed, all seem to be same shape and profile, Haynes suggests that there is a chamfer either straight or diagonal for inboard or outboard. Neither on both sets of new pads!

:5biagree:
when you've eliminated the probable what you're left with, however improbable, must be the truth.
your disks are too thick!
Wheels fouling the calipers is a problem usually associated with people fitting the earlier wheels to late model cars.
The discs were upgraded at the same time that the V6 and the TD4 models were introduced.
That meant modified wheels, with more clearance.
If the OP is replacing the same wheels then I too am stumped with this one.
Singvogel.
Mines a 2001 with vented discs, got pagid pads, new discs, straight on,
I would expect more clearance than the 4mm you reckon it sticks out by so you must be talking quite a big difference by the time you take your 4mm and add the standard hit and miss Landy manufacturing tolerance wheel Clearence to it! Unless you've really cocked up I recon it's discs with the wrong offset.
They can't be much thicker than standard cos with new pads you only have a couple of mm Clearence in the caliper! You'd have to beat it on with a hammer!
did you take both bolts out of the caliper, or just the bottom and hinge it up ?
stand corrected...
something must have gone back wrong. (states obvious)
carrier is now bolted to front of stub, instead of back.........could be
That sounds like a challengeif it wasn't 12.30 and dark I'd have a go!!!!
Unless he's got the wrong discs even if it's possible the carrier would be wedged solid against the disc
